Gabriella lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at the Latina Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended a communication tablet with eye tracking. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $6,900. Her current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 8 weeks. With the right equipment Gabriella could join the school sports day. It would change everyday life for the whole family. We've applied to two charities already and received small contributions; this campaign covers the rest. Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing. Where the $6,900 goes: • communication tablet with eye tracking: $6,500 • Fitting and training sessions: $95 • Delivery and set-up: $135 • First-year servicing plan: $170 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
